Lim advised DAP supporters to come out in full force to vote and not be complacent, thinking it would be a sure win for the party here.

On the MCA candidate promising to provide a “check and balance” on the state government as an opposition assemblyman, seeing how Pakatan already has 50 of the 56 seats in Selangor state assembly, Lim claimed the MCA was not fit to do the job.

He accused the MCA of not having played its role as part of the Barisan Nasional government for the last 60 years before it was ousted in GE14.

Wong, on her part, said she hoped for at least a 60% voter turnout on polling day. She said it would be better if it were between 80% and 90%.

There are about 62,000 voters and some 60% are Chinese.

Wong and Tan, 40, are in a straight fight on Sept 8 for the Balakong state seat that was left vacant after assemblyman Eddie Ng Tien Chee died in a highway accident on July 20.
